Chapter 352

Sophia turned around and stared at her. Her mouth opened several times, but no words came out.

“Let’s go to the stairwell and talk. It’s a bit inconvenient here.” Nicole suggested after checking the surroundings.

Sophia nodded and followed her to the stairwell.

Footsteps echoed in the stairwell. It sounded like there were people going in and out of the stairwell downstairs.

“Nicole, those chat records...” Sophia could barely sleep the entire night. It was not until the early morning hours when she finally dozed off, but even in her sleep, this was the only thing she could think about.

On one side, she talked about how Charles had forced her mother into her deathbed, and on another side, Nicole told her that Charles was being accused by someone... When she woke up the next morning, her head was pounding.

Nicole pulled a phone out and handed it to her.

“Was this Mom’s?” Sophia took it from her.

“Yeah. I found it when I was going through Mom’s belongings. I came across those chat records. Your brother was furious and hired a hacker to investigate this person.

“We met up with this person after coming back from Bamboo Virtues Village. He told us that he did it under Mr. Harris’ orders. He even showed us a bank transaction between him and Mr. Harris.

“We had someone look into that as well, and it’s confirmed that the account belongs to Mr. Harris. In fact, it’s his personal bank account that he only uses for personal purposes,” Nicole said warily.

Sophia licked her lips. Her legs felt like they were turning into jelly.

How was this possible?

She leaned against the wall behind her. “Nicole, this... This still doesn’t prove that Charles was the one who did it. For all we know, someone might have used his card.”

“Did you fall for him again?” Nicole asked.

“This has nothing to do with my feelings for him,” Sophia replied, “Charles isn’t involved with Mom in any way at all, so he has no reason to do this anyway. Someone might just be accu...”

Before she could finish her sentence, footstep sounds neared as an excited shrill voice of a woman sounded, “Sophia’s here! Come here everyone, I found Sophia!”

Lisa suddenly appeared at the stairwell door.

Then, there were sounds of chaotic footsteps as around seven or eight reporters rushed over. They blocked the stairwell entrance and were followed by several photographers standing behind them. They were pointing their cameras at Sophia.

The camera flashes were so bright that Sophia could barely open her eyes. All she could hear were the reporters throwing questions one after another.

“Ms. White, you caused your mother to slit her wrist and commit suicide, and your father is now in the hospital because of you. How can you explain this?”

“Leah Jones slit her wrist and attempted suicide. In the suicide note she left, she mentioned that she hopes you would stop pushing her brother. What do you know about this?”

“How do you feel about the White Industries’ market plunge? You and your brother know nothing about business management, and now that Mr.

White has been admitted to the hospital, what will happen to White Industries?”

“Ms. Lisa Swift here says that she’s a relative of the White family but has always been treated as a maid. Not only has she lost her dignity, but she has to endure your family’s beatings and scoldings. Is this true?”

“The Harris and Jones families canceled their wedding arrangements, and so did the Jones and Sommer families earlier this year. Did all this happen because of you? There are also rumors that you are officially together with Mr. Harris, yet you’re still having a secret affair with Mr. Jones. Are these mere groundless rumors or is there truth to it?”

Sophia raised one hand to cover her eyes from the blinding flash. It felt as if there was a bunch of bees buzzing around her ears. She was extremely annoyed.

However, there was nothing she could say. She knew that anything she said would be twisted and misinterpreted into stories.

“There’s no more room behind me, excuse me.” Sophia had one hand covering her eyes and the other around her stomach protectively as she tried to find her way out.

She was standing right before a flight of steps and did not want to be pushed down.

However, not only did the reporters not move aside, but they continued pushing forward. Their microphones were held so close to Sophia.

Nicole was right beside her trying to keep the reporters away, but she was no match against them. All of a sudden, someone pushed her while trying to move forward.

Since she was standing close to Sophia, she fell directly on Sophia.

“!” Sensing that she was falling, Sophia swiftly reached out to grab the railing beside her and held on to dear life.

Nicole followed suit, and as soon as she stabled herself, she asked Sophia anxiously, “Soph, are you alright?”

“... I’m fine.” Sophia had broken into a cold sweat and because of the sudden jerk to her body, the wound on her back began to ache.

She wiped the sweat around her head and scanned through the crowd of reporters with a cold glare.

Her gaze was oppressive without a hint of warmth nor emotion. The bleak iciness was so strong it could penetrate their bones. Unnerved, the reporters took a step back.

Lisa pushed through the crowd and came to the front. “See? Do all of you see how arrogant she is in front of so many reporters? Can you imagine how she acts when alone with me? She doesn’t even see me as a human being! Her mother was forced to death by these two siblings!”

Her words immediately caused a stir among the reporters. Once again, they eagerly held their microphones up.

Nicole spread her arms wide as she stood in front of Sophia. She yelled out angrily, “We’re all humans here, don’t push it!”

“The same goes for you! We’re all humans, and although maids are just a group of people who do labor work for money, it doesn’t mean that they don’t have their rights! Why didn’t you treat them like human beings, then? Is it because you have money, so you have the right to look down on them?!”

A reporter popped the question while the others began to push forward as well, each of them desperate to be in front to ask questions.

The scene was completely chaotic, just like the morning market.

A few of the nurses outside heard the commotion and came over to get them to quiet down, but none of them seemed to hear the nurses.

Sophia’s eyes turned colder as she pushed Nicole who was standing in front of her away.

“Soph, just stay behind me and don’t move! These people are crazy lunatics!” Due to her upbringing, Nicole seldom said such crude words, but these reporters were too much!

Sophia shook her head at her, and instead of backing away, she took another two steps forward.

Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around!

Chapter 351 Would You Ever Do Anything To Hurt Me The reporters became even more excited when they saw this. They pushed even harder against each other.

Sophia glanced at the microphones that were close to poking her mouth and took another step forward with a calm expression on her face, letting the microphone touch her jaw.

She pointed to her stomach and said, “Go on, continue! Keep pushing me like how you all are now and best yet, make sure I lose my baby after I fall.

I’d like to see what Charles and Master Harris will do to all of you.”

Just as if her words were a pause button, the reporters instantly went silent. Nobody dared to push anymore.

They had never met Master Harris, but they heard about his temper. If they caused him to lose his great-grandson, was it even possible for them to keep their job and stay in the industry?

“They didn’t even push you!” Lisa thought the group of reporters were too foolish. She took a step forward and pointed at Sophia as she yelled, “They’re just asking you questions so they can report the truth!

“You haven’t even become the official granddaughter-in-law of the Harris family, and even when you have, are reporters not allowed to interview you?”

Sophia was swollen with arrogance on the phone previously, was she not?

She should show her true colors if she was that capable!

Seeing the reporters clamoring once again, Sophia took another step forward and said, “Let me ask Lisa a few questions before answering yours, then. That’s not too much to ask for, is it?”

The reporters exchanged glances before slowly nodding their heads.
